Florida Georgia Line Still Having a Good Time

Almost two years after their smash hit "Cruise" rocketed to the top of the charts, Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley – aka Florida Georgia Line -- are standing strong as the reigning kings of country music.

While it's safe to say that FGL had some help in getting to the top (the duo supported artists including Taylor Swift and Luke Bryan on tour), the genre-busting style of Hubbard and Kelley has maintained a massive mainstream appeal that only seems to be getting stronger.

Evidence? FGL's first album was re-released as a deluxe edition called "Here's To The Good times…This Is How We Roll" featuring a collaboration with Bryan. It not only pushed FGL back to the top of the albums chart, but "This Is How We Roll" went to No. 1 on the US Country Chart, No. 2 on the Country Airplay Chart and No. 15 overall on the US Billboard chart.

The Republic Nashville duo rolled through its first full-blown headline tour last fall, with crowds responding to FGL staples like "It'z Just What We Do," "Party People," and "Get Your Shine On." The energy they showcase on stage and in the studio has earned them ACAs, AMAs, ACM, Billboard Awards, CMA and CMT Music Awards. Now, the reigning ACM Vocal Duo of the Year is back on the road for their headline run of the This Is How We Roll Summer Series 2014, featuring Nelly and opener Chris Lane.

More good news for FGL fans? The duo is currently in the studio working on their sophomore album, expected for release in the fall.

Take a sprinkle of country, a bit of rock and roll, some EDM, pop and hip-hop, and put it in a blender. The result is the skyrocketing duo Florida Georgia Line (known to fans as FGL), two guys still getting used to seeing their names at the top of the bill.

If you haven't heard of Florida George Line…where have you been? The answer? Missing the red-hot movement in mainstream country music toward sounds that are nothing like country music. And leading the charge are Bryan Kelley (from Ormond Beach, Fla.) and Tyler Hubbard (of Monroe, Ga.), two guys who released their first EP in December 2010, and were getting by in Nashville on publishing deals instead of a recording contract.

Of course we all know by now how FGL's story turns out, because the duo's breakthrough single "Cruise," wasn't just the country hit of the summer. "Cruise" smashed the record for most chart-topping weeks for a title by a duo in the 69-year history of Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart. It also peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, and has sold more than 5 million downloads, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

With success, however, also comes controversy. The FGL sound, blended with rock guitars and overzealous production, has made the duo a target of critics. Even their No. 1 album, "Here's to the Good Times," has failed to quiet the string of voices who have failed to embrace the roll-your-windows-down tracks that Kelley and Hubbard are churning out. Still, it doesn't deter them.

Florida-Georgia Line begins its first full-blown headlining tour this fall, having opened for the likes of Luke Bryan and Taylor Swift. Tickets for the initial date of that headlining run, an October 19th stop at the Whitaker Bank Ballpark in Lexington, Kentucky, sold out in just 23 minutes.
